ONVIF Authentication in .NET 4.0 with Visual Studios 2010

Question

My task is to try to establish a communication with a ONVIF camera in the building to, eventually, upgrade the company\'s domotic solution to automatically recognize ONVIF c

Answer 1

All right:

EndpointAddress serviceAddress = new EndpointAddress("<mycameraurl:<mycameraport>/onvif/device_service");

HttpTransportBindingElement httpBinding = new HttpTransportBindingElement();

httpBinding.AuthenticationScheme = AuthenticationSchemes.Digest;

var messageElement = new TextMessageEncodingBindingElement();

messageElement.MessageVersion = MessageVersion.CreateVersion(EnvelopeVersion.Soap12, AddressingVersion.None);

CustomBinding bind = new CustomBinding(messageElement, httpBinding);

// Add our custom behavior - this require the Microsoft WSE 3.0 SDK

PasswordDigestBehavior behavior = new PasswordDigestBehavior(CameraASCIIStringLogin, CameraASCIIStringPassword);

DeviceClient client = new DeviceClient(bind, serviceAddress);

client.Endpoint.Behaviors.Add(behavior);

// We can now ask for information

client.GetSystemDateAndTime();

client.GetNetworkInterfaces();

client.GetScopes();

client.GetRelayOutputs();

client.GetWsdlUrl();

The problem was that the camera required authentication before giving any information beyond the simplest ones, and the trickiest part was to finally catch a working xml onvif message to recreate it in my own software.
